The producers of this series wanted to highlight another Lemonada Media podcast called Add to Cart. Join comedian-writer-director Kulap Vilaysack and veteran journalist SuChin Pak, in a subversive take on consumerism. Every Tuesday, they have honest, revealing (sometimes TMI) conversations about all the big and little things they’re adding to, or removing from, their carts. They decide what’s worth the monetary/emotional investment, and what’s not. From beauty products and health trends, to celebrities and philosophies they’re passionate about, our hosts dig into anything we buy into and what it says about who we are. It’s summertime baby! And here on Add to Cart, it’s the season of endorphin dressing. Kulap finds a brand that embodies auntie style and comfort, with oversized silhouettes and bold prints. Speaking of auntie style, SuChin is redefining summer staples with cashmere and adult bibs. Plus, Ku and Su review the New York Mag etiquette guide which tackles essential questions such as: When do you write thank-you letters? How should you respond to a compliment? And how much do you tip for a water bottle (if anything?) Please note, Add To Cart contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners.
